FROM THE DESK OF REV NIHAL FERNANDO
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
A Month of Remembrance and Hope
The month of November invites us to remember the saints who have
inspired us in faith and our dearly departed loved ones whose lives have
touched us deeply. As we cherish their memories, we are reminded that
our Christian faith looks beyond death to the promise of eternal life.
Through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we believe
that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life in God's eternal
presence.
Jesus declares in John 11: 25, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
Through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we believe
that death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life in God's eternal
presence. Therefore, while we grieve the loss of those we love, we do not
grieve without hope (1 Thessalonians 4: 13–14).
May this month encourage us to give thanks for the lives of those who
have gone before us, follow the example of the saints, and live each day in
faith, love, and service to others.
May our memories be filled with gratitude, our hearts strengthened by
hope, and our lives guided by the promise of the resurrection.
With every blessing in Christ,
